Rock Island Armory M1911 A1 FS Tactical II .40 S&W, 5" Parkerized, Full-Size 1911 with Fiber-Optic Front & Adjustable Rear Sights
This Rock Island Armory M1911 A1 FS Tactical II stands out for its less common .40 S&W chambering in a full-size, single-stack 1911 platform. It features a 5-inch Government-length barrel with a standard bushing, a matte parkerized steel slide and frame, and a sighting setup that pairs an orange fiber-optic front with a fully adjustable rear. Practical Tactical II upgrades, including a flared magwell, beavertail grip safety with memory pad, and skeletonized controls, round out a well-equipped package.

The Tactical II configuration brings functional enhancements to the proven 1911 format. It uses a Government-length 5-inch barrel with a standard barrel bushing and a full-length guide rod for consistent cycling. The ejection port is lowered and flared, and the slide uses rear cocking serrations only to maintain a clean profile.
Sights are set up for quick acquisition and fine adjustment. An orange fiber-optic front sight draws the eye, while the fully adjustable rear with two white dots allows precise zeroing for loads in .40 S&W. Controls include an extended left-side thumb safety and a beavertail grip safety with a memory pad for positive engagement.
The frame and slide are steel with a matte parkerized finish for a uniform, duty-ready look. The non-railed frame keeps the classic lines of the 1911, and the flared magazine well speeds reloads. Aggressive gray/black textured composite grip panels provide a secure hold.
This model carries Tactical II roll marks (M1911 A1 FS – TACT. II) and importer/manufacturer markings, including APINTL–PAHRUMP NV and ACP PHILIPPINES. It is a single-action, semi-automatic 1911 with an 8+1 capacity in .40 S&W, using a skeletonized long trigger and a skeletonized commander-style hammer.
